This is such a wild custom, and the work involved that you are doing is really great.  It's too bad more people on here aren't checking out this section to see your work.  It was fun learning some new 3D printing techniques to help you out with this build.  Can't wait to see how the finished model comes out.  I bet it will be a big winner at some shows.

Oh, the chopper is fantastic. Motorcycles are so incredibly difficult to build, you've really captured it. The early 70s (late 60s?) was a cool experimental period.
